Answer:
Xia Dynasty (2200BC -1700BC)
In the ancient Kingdom of Xia, in China's central plains, a drought and famine started about 2200 BC. The situation became critical; the king decided to bury alive 20 of his best horses in urns, hoping that this would be enough to prevent severe famine and starvation. When people found out about the king's sacrifice and tried to stop him from burying alive the 20 horses, he ordered them killed. This is one of a number of historical events that were recorded by scribes who were part of a royal household tradition.
Shang Dynasty (1800BC -1040BC)
The Shang dynasty is one of the longest-lasting dynasties in the history of China. The period begins with an era called the Western Zhou and ends when it encounters another power, known as the Zhou Dynasty. This era lasted for about 1040 years in total, which was a great deal longer than many other Chinese dynasties.The Chinese people were very creative in this period and they attempted to make bronze weapons that were more durable than those made with tin. Other inventions from this era include chariots, ceremonial clothes, and houses with windows that could be opened for ventilation.
Zhou Dynasty (1046BC -256BC)
The Zhou Dynasty, also known as the Western Zhou, is an ancient Chinese dynasty that lasted for 800 years. It was named for its home in Shaanxi Province and produced many of the most famous philosophers and influential thinkers in Chinese history. The dynasty's territory comprised much of modern day Shaanxi, Henan and Shanxi provinces.
Qin Dynasty (221BC -206BC)
Qin Dynasty, or Qin Empire (221 BC - 206 BC) was the most recent dynasty in ancient China and the first imperial dynasty of unified China. It was founded by Qin Shi Huang, who abolished previous dynasties and established himself as a monarch. The Qin Dynasty extended its rule over a large part of what we now call "China," as well as parts of northern Vietnam (the area called Tonkin today), Shensi, Korea and Mongolia. The name "Qin" means "clear" in Chinese, suggesting that the dynasty's culture would be different from those they replaced since they came from different regions to unify China in 221 BC.
